Spring Marches ON!

How time flys......I can't believe it's been 10 days since my last post.  I have place my order for baby chicks which will arrive Friday, April 22.  My flock is at about 35-40ish chickens right now but only yielding about 6-10 eggs a day--not nearly enough for all of my faithful egg customers!! Sooooo the time has come to thin the flock and it is always fun to get baby chicks.  I have ordered several  Araucanas as well as Black Australorps, Barred Rock, Cherry Eggers, Buff Orpingtons, and a couple of other breeds that I can't remember now.   I will need to  thin my flock of adult chickens before the babies are joined with their new family.

Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity of 3 days of stitching- 2 days of class with Catherine Theron- Friday was Peaceable Kingdom & Saturday was Catherine's Quaker Sewing Case.  I really like both of these projects but must say I absolutely LOVE Peaceable Kingdom.  It is a very large piece with many different stitches so it will be challenging for me.  It is just gorgeous!!  The Quaker Sewing Case will be fun and a quick stitch.  The finishing seems like it will be easy as well!  Sunday was just free stitching so worked on the Quaker Sewing Case & caught up with an old friend who has now joined Sampler Guild!  It is always fun to reconnect with old friends!  I will post photos as I progress with both of these projects.  My goal is to chronicle my stitching projects this year and meet some self set goals!

Here's to a Wonderful Wednesday!!
